Popular Moorhead restaurant Thai Orchid has moved.
The ethnic food establishment moved from its First Avenue North location to the Moorhead Center Mall, Sept. 10. It now occupies the 10,000-square-foot space* Country Kitchen vacated in 2008.
The restaurant, owned by Thamrong “Keng” Dechawuth and David Scheer, seats 120 people – about the same as the old location, but it has a more open layout.
The menu hasn’t changed much. A few unpopular items were dropped and the restaurant has added some new options, Dechawuth said.
Thai Orchid first opened at 900 1st Ave. N. in 2005.

*Because of a typo in a previous story (we don’t like to name names, but it was mine), this figure was originally reported as 100,000 square feet. As an astute reader points out below, that’s entirely too large – we like Thai food, but not THAT much Thai food.
